Birthday Weekend

A few weekends ago, my family and Barrett's family traveled up to Lake Rabun to spend a "birthday weekend" together.  Barrett's family has a house up there, and it was very nice of them to have us all up there!  Conveniently, Barrett and Dad share the same birthday (September 30th).  Emory's birthday was 3 days before on the 27th and Bob's was the 10th.  Needless to say, we had a lot of birthdays to celebrate!  We arrived at Lake Rabun late on Friday night.  We took a house tour then dove into some cake (that I made :) ) and some cupcakes (from Gigi's, although I wish I could take credit for them).

Gotta love those wedding gifts...

Da with the munchkins

 

Birthday boys!

         

 Not sure...

The next morning, Emory met a friend...

Then we kayaked and jet-skied until lunch...

                                                                   Katherine almost threw Barrett off the jet-ski

                                   

 

Emory wasn't too sure about the jet-skis. 

 Oh, and Olivia did not want to take her life vest off the entire day

 Lunch was delicious...
 
Then we sat around for a bit...

 

before going on a freezing cold boat ride...

That afternoon was full of fun, swimming, games, laughs, and naps.  The Tribble/Thompson's were introduced to Kan Jam (the best game ever), and of course, Barrett and I dominated.  That night we headed up to Louis' for pizza.  But before we went, we took a few pictures on the boat dock.

All the September birthdays...

Barrett, Emory, Bob, Dad

 

At dinner...

 

 The picture of Emory was taken right before she fell asleep at the dinner table.  Luckily, Aunt Mallory was there to carry her home.  Love that one!  It was a wonderful weekend!  I loved having mine and Barrett's families together for such a fun weekend.  We will definitely have to go back soon...maybe when its warmer so Aunt Mallory will actually get in the lake.
